The Sawyer House In Appleby, Lincolnshire

Jennifer, very slowly, shimmied down after him. "Cool! So, do you want to hide them and just meet at a middle point when it's time to play?"

"That sounds fine," But Anthony was giggling at her. "You're so slow when it comes to climbing trees!"

Jennifer didn't say anything until her feet were firmly on the ground. "Besides now, I haven't really done it..."

"Well, you better practice... if we ever go see those trees up the creek a bit, it will take you an hour to climb them!"

Jennifer smiled sheepishly, and started running towards the house with her apples. "Shout out when you're done and we can start! No looking till then!" She said, shouting behind her shoulder.

"Okay, okay, sure!" Anthony called back, and ran off, looking for a good place to hide his apples.

Meanwhile, Rachel was up in her bedroom, looking at herself in the mirror, while she was dancing and lipsyncing to the song [Only admins are allowed to see this link]. The catch was, she was doing this only wearing a pair of underwear and bra.

Jennifer contemplated for a few minutes, then decided to go with a little nook beside the door. "Ready!" She screamed.

Nicolas, who'd received a day off for some thing or another, was sound asleep, despite the fact that it was almost two in the afternoon. It was the soundest he'd slept in a long, long time.

"OKAY! So am I!"

"Nick, wake up lazy bones!"

Rachel had turned off the music earlier, and was standing before the sleeping Nick wearing an old peach colored bathrobe, that was rather unflattering against her head. But she was smiling at him.

"I have a surprise for you!"

Jennifer whipped around excitedly. "One... Two... Three GO!" She began to dart towards the boundary line, preparing to make a move.

Anthony began to sneak away, looking for Jenny's own apples. If he was her, where would he hide them?

By the creek, of course! So he began to search over there.

Nicolas moaned, and rolled over so he was laying on his back. Without opening his eyes, he mumbled, "Whattimeizzit?" It felt like he'd been asleep for days, and he was in that mode where he was half-asleep and half-awake.

Jennifer was circling around trees, trying to calculate if he had had enough time to actually tuck one in a branch.

"Come on, open your eyes!" Rachel wheedled, before giving up. "Oh, forget it. I'll let this do the talking for me." And she ran over to her little CD player, and 'Fly Me To The Moon' came blasting out of it.

"JENNYYY! You're in my territory! I can take you for my prisoner!" Anthony cried out.

Nicolas sat upright, covering his ears. "Damn it, Rachel! Turn it off!"

"NO, you don't get it!" Rachel cried out. And as quickly as she could (But still trying to move sexily.) she slipped off the peach robe, which revealed a pair of rather slinky black lacy lingerie, and she slowly began to reach for the top part.

"Oh, so you woke me up for this?" Nicolas raised his eyebrows, looking unimpressed. "It kind of ruins the mood if you're yelling at me right before you try to turn me on."

"Well, you shouldn't have had said something that would make me yell before hand." Rachel grumbled, before removing her lacy black thong, and throwing it at Nick.

Nicolas sighed, stood up, and gave Rachel a long and sweet kiss on the lips. He then walked past her and into the bathroom, running some cold water in the sink and splashing his face with it. Hopefully that'll shut her up for a while.

"I-I was only trying to please you, and cheer you up, after all the hard work you do..." she called from the bedroom, sniffling for extra effect. This would have to guilt him.

"We've been married for, what, almost nineteen years? I know you're faking that," Nicolas called to her while he continued to wash his face.

"...Fine." Rachel said, pouting mentally as she threw her clothes back on. "What do you want for dinner?" she asked.

"Uhm... spaghetti and meatballs sounds really good. Do you mind?"

"Not at all!" Rachel waved him off. "Go back to bed if you want."

Brian knocked on the door. He was dressed in light blue overalls and a white t-shirt. His black hair was getting very long, falling to his neck and was sticking around in odd places. Ah well. It runs through the Cruise genes. He had a big grin on his face, and his bright blue eyes were lit with excitement. Hopefully Anthony will reply soon! He really wanted to play with someone.
